WorkFlow RunScipt use clipboard place holder , but an exception occurred in the python split() function.

[SummerChill]

In the following code, the corresponding content of str1 and str2 are the same,

str1 is obtained from the clipboard. str2 is directly assigned. But the value is the same.

then they are split in the same way.

But the content obtained is different. I am very confused and don't know the reason. Please help me to answer.

The code can’t be working as the comments suggest, because {clipboard} and other dynamic placeholders do not expand inside Run Scripts (that could interfere with the code itself). You’ll need to tell Python to get the clipboard. Examples:

• With pbpaste.
• With Tkinter.

I want to get the most recent history content in the clipboard, Not only the last one , use dynamic placeholders are convenient and direct. 

It seems that the two ways you provide can not get previous clipboard history....

Then use an Argument and Variables Utility to send your dynamic placeholder to the next object.

I have done the above settings, how to get it in the runscript component(python interpreter)?
I tried to use {var:str1}, but did not get the corresponding clipboard information.

Again, you can’t use dynamic placeholders inside scripts, there would be no way to distinguish them from code.

Those are passed in as environment variables, so you read them like:

 

import os

os.environ['str0']

 

To read the argument instead of the variable, follow the placeholder example:

 

import sys

sys.argv[1]
